Chemistry Projects
Module code: F10010
Level 6
15 credits in spring semester
Teaching method: Laboratory, Lecture, Workshop
Assessment modes: Coursework
In this module you will undertake a short piece of original research in an area of current topical activity. You’ll work in a small research team under the guidance of a lead Principle Investigator.
The project could involve:
- synthesis
- compound characterisation
- physical measurements
- instrumental analysis
- computational study
- theoretical investigation
- data analysis
- combination of the above.
You’ll report the research outcomes through a team presentation and individual report.
Module learning outcomes
- Plan and conduct a sequence of experimental or other analytical procedures that establish definite conclusion to a critically evaluated chemical problem.
- Demonstrate a broad and synoptic knowledge of chemical techniques as applied to real world situations.
- Demonstrate an ability to deploy accurately, established techniques of analysis to a specific chemical system or current topic of wider chemical interest.
- Report in writing and orally scientific findings in context with literature sources with a critical evaluation of strengths and weakness of the techniques used.
